We were in Udaipur for 4 days out of which 2 days we spent in the city. In those 2 days, we could only see a limited number of places and we left with a feeling that we should some day come back, we have not spent enough time here. I am surely going to steal a few days from your itinerary the next time I go there 🙂

We find Udaipur to be a little different from the other gems of Rajasthan like Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, etc. It has a unique charm of its own and has much more of a royal feel about it. Places like the Pichola lake and Saheliyon Ki Bari lend it an enchanting beauty which is so soothing to the senses. Udaipur is the place to head to for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay in Rajasthan.

This is such a detailed itinerary. The pictures look stunning. Old world charm. Would love to visit.

Great way to map out an itinerary with times and places to visit on what days. I love traveling with family and this itinerary is just what I look for when looking for places to go.

Thank you for this interesting post about Udaipur. I have not previously hear of this destination and its UNESCO World Heritage Site.

19 Best Things to Do in Udaipur, Rajasthan

Regal City of Lakes and Palaces

aladin66 /Getty Images

Udaipur, Rajasthan's "white city", is often called the most romantic city in India because of its famed lakes and palaces. Therefore, it's only natural that they feature prominently in the top things to do in Udaipur. Experiencing Udaipur is all about reliving royalty and appreciating the city's regal beauty.

Check out these places to see around Udaipur too. There are many interesting day trips and side trips to go on. If you don't mind the heat, try and catch Udaipur's biggest festival, Gangaur, in March or April (it happens a couple of weeks after Holi each year). The Mewar Festival is held alongside it and celebrates the region's culture.

Explore the City Palace Complex

How did Rajasthan's royal rulers survive after India became a democracy and their states merged into the Union of India? They converted their palaces into hotels and tourist attractions in order to generate an income. Udaipur's City Palace Complex , belonging to the Mewar royal family, really sets the standard as far as such heritage tourism is concerned. This all-encompassing destination incorporates two authentic palace hotels (see below) and the City Palace Museum . Plus, a collection of vintage cars and Jag Mandir, a pleasure palace on an island in the middle of Lake Pichola. It's the largest palace complex in Rajasthan.

Wander Through Bagore Ki Haveli

Bagore Ki Haveli provides a further fascinating look into the lifestyle of the royal family and culture of the region. This sprawling mansion, built in the 18th century on the edge of Lake Pichola at Gangaur Ghat (where you can sit by the water), was once the residence of the Prime Minister of Mewar. It was converted to a museum after five years of restoration work in the late 1980s and is a joy to wander through. Inside there are more than 100 rooms, courtyards, and terraces, many with beautiful frescoes and fine mirror work. Royal paintings, costumes of the kings, personal items, and traditional Rajasthani arts and crafts are on display. There's also a puppet gallery and turban collection with the world's biggest turban. The Haveli is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. A folk dance performance and puppet show is held from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Boat on Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake

Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake (to the north of Lake Pichola and connected by a canal) are the most popular of Udaipur's man-made lakes. A boat ride on Lake Pichola gives a whole new perspective ​on the city, especially the City Palace Complex. There are a couple of options, depending on what you want to see and how much you're prepared to spend. To visit Jagmandir Island, you'll need to take one of the boats that depart from Rameshwar Ghat in the City Palace gardens (a small fee is payable to enter the City Palace if you're not staying at a hotel there). Tickets cost 500 rupees per person for the regular boat ride during the day, and 800 rupees per person for the sunset boat ride. Cheaper public boat rides depart from the jetty at Lal Ghat. A lesser-known option is to get a boat from Dudh Talai adjacent to Lake Pichola. You can explore Fateh Sagar Lake by renting a boat from the bottom of Moti Magri (Pearl Hill).

Soak Up the View from a Rooftop

The numerous rooftop restaurants on Lal Ghat, Gangaur Ghat and Hanuman Ghat provide a fabulous panorama of Lake Pichola. For something special, including a superb view of the the City Palace, head to Upre by 1559 A.D. atop the Lake Pichola Hotel near Hanuman Ghat. On the other side of the lake, Sun and Moon Restaurant on the rooftop of Hotel Udai Niwas at Gangaur Ghat is sought-after for its view. At Lal Ghat, try the rooftop restaurant at Jaiwana Haveli or Jagat Niwas Palace Hotel .

Watch the Sunset at Ambrai Ghat

Udaipur has many vantage points for photography but arguably the best one is Ambrai Ghat, especially at sunset. It's located directly opposite the City Palace and also fronts the Lake Palace hotel, so you have an unsurpassed view of both as their lights are turned on. To get there, head to the Hanuman Ghat area and keep walking along the road that runs parallel to Lake Pichola as far as you can, past the Amet Haveli hotel and Ambrai restaurant. Do be aware that Ambrai Ghat is a popular local hangout for couples. (Of course, locals know the most romantic spot with the best views in the city!)

Visit Jagdish Temple

This imposing white Hindu temple, with intricate architecture and carvings, is an unmissable landmark in the Lal Ghat area near the entrance to the City Palace. It was built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1961 and houses a black stone idol of Lord Jagannath, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu who's regarded as the preserver of the universe in Hinduism. The highlight here is the evocative aarti (worship ceremony) every sunrise and sunset.

Take a Heritage Walking Tour

A heritage walk through the streets of Udaipur is a great way to immerse yourself in the City of Lakes and Palaces. The Walk Down Memory Lane tour conducted by Walk and Pedal is one of the best. You'll get to see goldsmiths at work, witness temple rituals, visit quaint shops selling everything from shoes to books, and enjoy panoramic city views. Also check out the dawn and dusk tours conducted by Vintage Walking Tours . In addition, this insightful Udaipur Heritage Walk offered by Virasat Experiences is recommended for engaging with local artisans. It provides an opportunity to meet communities that make jewelry, pottery, and bamboo craft. You'll learn about local traditions, customs, and beliefs too.

Stay at an Authentic Palace Hotel

Udaipur's mystical Lake Palace hotel appears to float in the middle of Lake Pichola. It was built by the Maharanas of Mewar as a pleasure palace in the 18th century. The royal family restored and converted it into a palace hotel in 1963, and then leased it out to the luxury Taj hotel group in 1971, as a way to maintain it. A further restoration was undertaken in 2000, making the property one of the finest heritage hotels in India. It has even had a Hollywood moment when scenes from the famous James Bond Octopussy movie were filmed there. The only way to visit the hotel is to stay at it, so splurge and treat yourself to at least one night of indulgence! The Taj group recently took over the management of the Fateh Prakash Palace Hotel , inside the City Palace Complex, too. The other option for an authentic palace stay is the Shiv Niwas Palace Hotel . It also features in Octopussy.

Sample Traditional Mewari Cuisine

The Rajput rulers of the Mewar region, who founded Udaipur, were avid hunters. Meat-based dishes are therefore a feature of Mewari-cuisine, in contrast to predominantly vegetarian Rajasthani food. Laal maas (red mutton curry) is an iconic Mewari dish that's fiery hot. Apparently, the royal cooks spiced it up to hide the aroma of the game meat that was used at the time. The dish has a prominent place on the menus of restaurants that serve Mewari food in Udaipur including Hari Ghar , Khamma Ghani , Upre , Ambrai , and Paantya at the City Palace. In addition, the Bedla family serve recipes that have been handed down over generations at their heritage restaurant Royal Repast , located in their home.

Take an Indian Cooking Class

Udaipur is a fantastic place to expand your culinary skills by taking an Indian cooking lesson. You'll learn all about the different spices and secrets to preparing Indian food. Sashi's cooking classes are among the most popular. She has a reputation for being a friendly and lively teacher, and she conducts introductory classes twice a day with her son at her place at Gangaur Ghat. Mamta's cooking classes are recommended too. She offers four different menus, ranging from basic to super deluxe. The classes take place for lunch and dinner daily near Chandpole. Alternatively, Sushma provides cooking classes at the Krishna Niwas Guesthouse at Lal Ghat. You can choose the individual dishes you want to prepare. The extensive options include north and south Indian dishes, Rajasthani classics, and desserts.

Get a Dose of Culture and Shop at Shilpgram

Shilpgram (meaning "craftsmen's village") is a rural arts and crafts complex, located on the outskirts of Udaipur. It was set up by the government in 1986 to showcase rural life and traditions from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Goa. The complex has huts from each of the states, incorporating their distinctive architectural features. Artisans also sell their wares and perform folk dances. Horse rides and camel rides are offered as well. The complex really comes alive during the 10-day Shilpgram Arts & Crafts Fair in late December.

Buy Art or Make Your Own

Udaipur is renowned for its traditional art, particularly the colorful miniature paintings that originated there in the 16th century. A recommended place to buy them is Gothwal Art near Gangaur Ghat. The lovely owners of this gallery are artists themselves and prices are very reasonable. It's possible to learn the technique by participating in a workshop, such as the ones offered by Vedic Walks . Jal Sanjhi is another rare 200 year-old art form that can be learned in this painting demonstration . It involves painting on water and is a tribute to Lord Krishna. If you're interested in other types of art and handicrafts, this Spirit of Art tour comprises visits to a block printing center and book binding shop, painting demonstration, and sword making demonstration.

Give Some Love to Rescued Street Animals

Animal Aid Unlimited

Animal Aid Unlimited runs one of India's busiest street animal rescue services and hospitals. More than 75,000 animals have been treated there since the organization was founded in 2002. The sanctuary is home to about 150 animals including cows, donkeys, dogs, and cats. It's a happy place that encourages and welcomes visitors. You'll be able to play with and comfort the animals, and receive a whole lot of love back from them. Tours take place throughout the day at the following times: 10.30 a.m., noon, 2.30 p.m., and 3.30 p.m. Volunteer opportunities are also available.

Ride Around Udaipur on a Bicycle

On the way, you'll be able to spot various birds and animals. The tour runs daily from 7.30 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. and costs 2,000 rupees per person.

See the Cenotaphs of the Royal Family

Off-the-beaten-track yet just east of the city center, the Ahar cenotaphs honor deceased members of the Mewar royal family. There are 372 white marble cenotaphs that have been constructed over centuries at the place where the bodies were cremated. About 20 of them belong to past kings and hold great significance. The site also has a holy step well, and small archeological museum that's dedicated to ancient settlers of the area.

Relax in Udaipur's Regal Garden

Continue tracing the heritage of the Mewar royal family at Saheliyon ki Bari (Courtyard of Maidens), which was built by Maharana Sangram Singh -- popularly known as Rana Sanga -- next to Fateh Sagar Lake in the 18th century. This elegant garden served as a recreation space for the royal ladies. It's filled with a lotus ponds, sculptures, marble pavilions, fountains, trees, and more than 100 rose bushes. The impressive cascading rain fountains were added by Maharana Bhupal Singh in the late 19th century and imported from England. These days, the garden attracts many local families, and young canoodling couples who aim to get privacy away from prying eyes.

Admire the View from Monsoon Palace

The Monsoon Palace (also known as Sajjan Garh) can be seen from Udaipur, perched high on a hill above the city. As its name suggests, it was a favored destination of the royal family during the monsoon season. The palace belonged to the Mewar royal family until it was placed in government hands. Despite its dilapidated condition, it's a popular sunset spot due to its unsurpassed view over Udaipur. Those who are familiar with James Bond's Octopussy movie will also recognize the palace as the home of the principal villain, Kamal Khan. The drive to the palace takes around 30 minutes and passes through Sajjan Garh Wildlife Sanctuary Biological Park. Auto rickshaws aren't allowed to enter the park. So, it's best to rent a car or take the special minivan that departs from the entrance to Bagore ki Haveli at 5 p.m. daily.

Get Wild at Sajjangarh Biological Park

Veena Nair/Getty Images

Sajjangarh Biological Park surrounds the Monsoon Palace and can be visited on the way. The main attractions are trekking trails and a zoo. As far as zoos in India go, it's not bad, with spacious enclosures spread over a wide area. Electric golf carts can be rented to see all of it at a cost of 50 rupees per person, or 400 rupees for a private cart. There are about 20 types of animals and reptiles including lions, tigers, leopards, sloth bear, deer, ostrich, porcupines and turtles. The park is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays. Entry tickets cost 35 rupees per person for Indians and 300 rupees for foreigners. Do be aware that many of the animals sleep during the day, so it's best to visit after 4 p.m. You'll probably want to give it a miss if you don't have children though.

Ride the Mansapurna Karni Mata Ropeway

Nicole Silvestri/Getty Images

Red cable cars ferry sightseers on short trips (five minutes one-way) up the hill from Deen Dayal Park at Dudh Talai to Karni Mata temple . There's a viewing platform there, and it's another notable location for seeing the sunset over the city. Do be aware that the line and waiting time to buy tickets can be lengthy. Tickets cost about 100 rupees, round trip, for adults. There's an option to pay more to skip the line, which is highly recommended.

Rajasthan has my heart but Udaipur truly has my soul.

It’s straight from the pages of a bohemian romantic fairy tale and you will feel like royalty as you wander around the breathtaking Lake Pichola.

Udaipur is more like a mood and you will surely follow its rhythm while you’re here.

It’s often called the Venice of the East due to the 5 gorgeous lakes, romantic atmosphere, and pleasant weather.

You will fall in love with the mysticism, the floating palaces, the architecture, and the life force that runs through this city.

These are all the unmissable things to do in Udaipur!  

12 unmissable things to do in Udaipur

1. feel the breeze of the majestic lake pichola.

There are many lakes in Udaipur but Lake Pichola stands the test of time by being one of the most romantic lakes in the East.

The sparkling waters surrounded by the Aravalli mountain range create a cool breeze that has a certain magic to it.

Add on the fact that it boasts a majestic floating palace in the middle and you’ve landed in a dream world!

Although there isn’t a specific route to explore Lake Pichola, the many Ghats which are pick-pocketed around provide a great panoramic view of it all.

Ambrai Ghat is the best for a view of the Taj Lake Palace in the open garden nearby.

2. Check into the Taj Lake Palace

This will cost you a pretty penny but how many times in your life can you say you’ve made residence on a floating palace?!

Only accessible by boat from the royal dock, this hotel is up there as one of the best in the entire world.

Its white archways laced with bougainvilleas create a spectacular retreat.

Famous for its feature in the James Bond movie Octopussy , it was originally built as a summer palace for the Maharana of Udaipur (Maharaja being a king that was defeated in battle and a Maharana being undefeated).

Even in the peak temperatures of Indian summer, the whirlwind breezes create a cool respite.

When you check in, you’re made to feel like royalty. The Taj group cannot be beaten in service and during my stay, they outdid themselves as I had quite a few calamities.

Check out ‘Checking in: Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur’ for a full review and some funny travel faux pas I made!

3. Step back in time at the Udaipur City Palace

Out of all the city palaces in Rajasthan, Udaipur City Palace is by far my favourite.

There’s just so much colour and character in every room.

It certainly packs out during peak season and sometimes the narrow corridors to make your way through can get claustrophobic!

The views of the lake and beyond are spectacular and you can spend at least a few hours here enjoying the grandeur.

Be sure to check out their restaurant and bar on the exit, I sipped a delicious rose flavour Gin and Tonic.

4. Take a boat ride on Lake Pichola

It’s almost criminal to visit Udaipur and not take a boat ride on Lake Pichola .

Here, you can get up close and personal with famous sights and luxury hotels.

I booked my boat tour through the city palace and rode at sunset. You’ll be paying more for a sunset cruise, but it’s totally worth it for the colours the setting sun makes on the city palace and houses on the lake!

I fell in love with it and couldn’t stop snapping my camera. It was a golden hour on steroids.

Typically the boats do a 360 turn and pull up at the Jag Mandir which sits across from the Lake Palace.

Here, you can have a look around for as long as you like.

After the sun has set behind the mountains, it creates an awesome purple glow in the sky. A beautiful backdrop for the skyline.

5. Watch the sunset at the Monsoon Palace

Another beautiful place is perched on a hill towering above the city. You can make your way up by Land Rover from the booking office or take a breathless hike to the top.

Amazingly, you’ll be waiting for a 5-minute sunset. But, it’s 5 minutes worth waiting for.

I almost missed the whole thing as I was busy snapping the views from the other side!

Luckily the kind security guard pointed me in the right direction.

Watch out for the monkeys that play mischief here, they’ll be on the prowl for all things shiny and edible. They will also sit on top of your car and refuse to leave!

The winter season in Rajasthan creates a romantic orange glow at sunset and luckily these guys were the perfect muse for photos.

6. Grab a cheap Tali at Neelam’s restaurant

It’s the number one place to eat on Tripadvisor but Neelam still charges next to nothing for her homemade Tali.

A typical Tali consists of two Indian vegetarian dishes, dal (lentils), chutney, chapatis, and rice!

It’s a massive meal and it only costs 150 rupees which is perfect for the budget-conscious traveller.

Neelam makes all her food herself and the service has a friendly guest house feel to it.

You can find her place behind the Jagdish temple. You and your wallet won’t regret it!

7. Visit the Jagdish temple

Sitting in the middle of Main Street by the City Palace, the Jagdish temple is a beautiful place to visit.

It was built in 1561 and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu the creator of the world.

It is still actively used for Hindu worship today, so remember to dress appropriately. 

The carvings are the most spectacular part of the architecture here and tell the stories of the creation of the universe.

It was so peaceful walking around here and listening to the Bhajans being sung.

Remember to take your shoes off and not bring your camera inside as photography is strictly prohibited.

8. Let the Bagore Ki Haveli dance show bedazzle you

This fun and lively cultural show will transport you all over Rajasthan to watch in wonder at the different dancing styles, puppet shows, and religious prose along with traditional music.

The vibrant costumes in all different colours make a real statement on the stage.

The dancing is the most impressive part and you’ll see the Chari dance with pots of fire placed in their heads!

The ladies are all so beautiful. The most prestigious however was a 70-year-old lady, who balanced and danced with 7 heavy pots on her head! It was aging goals.

I kept thinking, I can hardly sit with my legs crossed for an hour yet without fidgeting and she can carry all those pots, walk-on glass, and dance?! Crazy.

It packs out almost every night, even in the off-season, so get in the queue promptly at 6.15 pm to guarantee a ticket and a good seat. Shows are from 7-8 pm daily.

9. Dine like royalty at Upré

There are many luxury dining options to choose from by Lake Pichola, but nothing quite beats Upré.

You can lounge on their royal cots overlooking gorgeous views of the lake and city palace.

Food is midrange to high in price but the flavours, quality, and service are so worth it!

In high season it is worth making a reservation here to save waiting. The service and location make you feel like Maharani with a feast for a queen!

10. Ride the ropeway to the Karni Mata temple

Another way to get an aerial view of the city and beyond is to visit the Karni Mata temple via the ropeway.

I wouldn’t recommend walking up the hill as there are warning signs for panthers and cobras everywhere.

Tickets are 97 rupees return (I’ve never understood these figures as anyone ever has those 3 rupees change, they usually just give sweets).

It’s a hot ride to the top and there is a typical Indian queue to wait in line and by that I mean there really isn’t one!

Despite the ride, the views from this side are outstanding and it’s worth sticking around a while getting a birds-eye view of the whole city and beyond.

On the way back, you will need to hand your ticket to the ropeway counter and receive a number.

Once your number is called on the tannoy, you can go back down via the cable car.

It took around 15-20 minutes in peak season for my number to be called, but there’s a good café nearby to pass the time with a cold drink.

11. Visit the Ahar Cenotaphs

This place is a little-known secret in Udaipur city centre which is located a few kilometres away from the tourist hub of Lake Pichola.

It’s a labyrinth of archways and has cenotaphs for days.

You can visit at sunrise and watch the rays of first morning light slowly cover them in a golden glow.

Be warned that there is a fee for photos by the security guard who runs a little monopoly on the side.

I guess this is India and a business can be found anywhere.

Click here to read my complete guide for the cenotaphs here!

12. Take a day trip out of the city

After you’ve ticked off all the things to do in Udaipur is fantastic but the majority of it can be covered in one to two days.

After that, there are a wealth of day trips you can organise out of the city for a cheap price.

You can visit the beautiful living fort at Chittorgarh , marvel at the unique carvings in the Ranakpur Jain Temple, or climb Khumbarlargh fort ; the second largest in the world (the first being the Great Wall of China).

Private taxis should be around 2000 rupees for a full day tour or you can go on a sharing tour for 600/700 rupees per person.

Khumbarlargh fort and the Ranakpur Jain Temple you can cover together in one full day trip and Chittorgarh you can cover in another day as both are in polar opposite directions of Udaipur!

So, that’s all the best things to do in Udaipur!

So, these are my personal 12 things to do in Udaipur. But, there are plenty more things to get up to in this romantic city of lakes.

There are still so many nooks and crannies of Lake Pichola I haven’t explored and cafés I haven’t had chai in yet.

It’s a city that will make you want to come back for more and I plan to do just that!

You might be happy to add - the sahastrabahu temple ( it is quite hidden and marvelous enough to throw one off schedule very easily) and of course the lake before it ; it is surrounded by mountains and below the lake, The winding road down takes you to - the most famous only one in the country EklingJi temple.... said to be anywhere between 2000 to 3000 years old but, it is clearly the oldest in entire Udaipur regions. There are many other things and places and ancient sites on both sides of the highway of Udaipur.... Just have lots of time and water with you 🙂

For your next visit to Udaipur and for the benefit of those visiting soon, do consider Fateh Sagar lake and Maharana Pratap memorial - Moti Magri. Both these offer serene views.

Early morning or sunset visit to Badi lake and Sajjangad forts can be done which are 8 to 12 KMS away from city center.

Hi Archana, thank you for the suggestions! I'll definitely have to check those out next time. Sophie x

Day 1 of Udaipur Itinerary for 4 Days

9 am: breakfast @ cafe la comida.

Some travelers choose a package at a hotel that includes breakfast. If you’re one of them, you’re, of course, sorted. If you are like us who don’t want to limit themselves, you’re in for a treat 🙂

Cafe La Comida , right in the heart of the old city, is a great place to have a delicious breakfast. With the warm and welcoming ambiance, charming setting, prompt service, and good food – you are sure to come back!

10 am: Jagdish Temple

Just 120 meters from Cafe La Comida, Jagdish Temple is a beautiful Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Apart from being one of the holiest places in Udaipur, the temple is a work of art.

Constructed in 1651 by Maharana Jagat Sing, the erstwhile ruler of Udaipur, the temple showcases stunning Indo-Aryan architecture.

The main shrine houses the idol of Lord Vishnu. Carved out of a single piece of black stone, the idol is a sight to behold.

The main shrine is circumscribed by four smaller shrines dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Sun God, Goddess Shakti, and Lord Shiva. You should walk around the inner sanctum (in a clockwise direction) to seek the blessings of other Gods.

Once you’ve got the blessings, give yourself enough time to admire the intricate carvings and paintings that adorn the temple.

Note: There are a few religious customs that need to be followed when visiting the temples in India viz. dress conservatively, cover your head (carry a stole or shawl), and remove your shoes.

11 am: City Palace

One of the largest palace complexes in Rajasthan, City Palace is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Udaipur. The construction of this masterpiece was initiated by Maharaja Udai Singh II in 1553 and was carried on by his successors over a period of 400 years.

The palace exquisitely combines Medieval, European, and Chinese architecture. The canary yellow exteriors showcase granite and marble work whereas interiors are intricately embellished with marble, mirrors, murals, wall paintings, silver, colored glass, and inlay.

The palace complex houses many small palaces and other beautiful structures. Suraj Gokhda, Ganesh Chowk, Mor Chowk, Rajya Angan, Dilkhush Mahal, Badi Chitrashali Chowk, Zenana Mahal, Surya Chopar, Sheesh Mahal, Moti Mahal, Krishna Vilas, Bhim Vilas, Amar Vilas, Rang Bhawan, Laxmi Vilas Chowk, Badi Mahal, Manak Mahal, and City Palace Museum are some of the notable attractions inside the complex.

Fateh Prakash Palace and Shiv Niwas Palace have been converted into heritage hotels. Shambhu Niwas is the present home of the royal family.

Badi Pol, Tripolia, and Hathi Pol are the gateways or entry points to the magnificent City Palace.

The palace is not only known for its architectural grandeur but also for its beautiful setting. It is located on the banks of Lake Pichola and is surrounded by majestic Aravalli hills. The highest point of the palace, Amar Vilas offers breathtaking views over Lake Pichola, its islands, and surrounding mountains.

City Palace Museum Timings: 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, all seven days a week. Entrance Tickets: INR 300 (USD 3.80) per adult and INR 100 (USD 1.27) per child aged 5 to 17 years.

Note: Mewar Sound and Light Show takes place at the Manek Chowk in City Palace every evening and the timings change with the season. The ticket prices depend upon the seating option you choose. It’s a great show if you want to know the history of Mewar. We skipped it as we had visited City Palace with a registered guide who had already narrated the stories of Mewar to us.

2 pm: Lunch @ Paantya Restaurant

It’s time for lunch! We dined at Paantya, a multi-cuisine restaurant at Shiv Niwas Palace , and loved it to the core. From the beautiful ambiance, tasty food, and wonderful hospitality to charming interiors, royal vibes, and great views – Paantya surpasses our expectations.

Try their Mewari cuisine.

4 pm: Lake Pichola: Boat Ride & Jag Mandir

A trip to Udaipur is incomplete without a boat ride on Lake Pichola. It’s a must!

The boat ride on the lake is mesmerizing, no matter what time of day it is. However, travelers endorse the sunset boat cruise as the captivating views of the golden hour from the lake are to die for.

There are four islands viz. Jag Niwas , Jag Mandir , Mohan Mandir , and Arsi Vilas on the lake. Jag Niwas has now turned into a 5-star hotel, Taj Lake Palace , and entry is only allowed to the hotel guests. Jag Mandir or Lake Garden Palace was used as a summer retreat by the royal family. Mohan Mandir and Arsi Vilas are two simple medieval structures that you can witness from the boat.

The boat ride starts from Rameshwar Ghat and includes a visit to Jag Mandir, one of the four islands on the lake. There’s not much to see on Jag Mandir. There’s a restaurant, the Darikhana , which is super expensive and the food is average. You at most need half an hour or so to admire the beautiful garden courtyard and stone carvings.

Boat Rides Timings: 10 am to 5 pm

Tickets: INR 400 (USD 5.07) per adult and INR 200 (USD 2.53) per child from 10 am to 2 pm; INR 700 (USD 8.87) per adult and INR 400 (USD 5.07) per child from 3 pm to 5 pm. So, you need to pay double the price if a sunset boat ride is what you crave!

6 pm: Tea, Coffee, and Snacks @ Brew Villa

Brew Villa is one of the best cafes in Udaipur. With overwhelming options on the menu, delightful ambiance, great prices, excellent service, and not to mention, central location – the cafe and restro comes highly recommended.

7 pm: Dharohar Dance Show @ Bagore Ki Haveli

If you do only one thing in Udaipur, let it be the Dharohar Folk Dance Show at Bagore ki Haveli.

This traditional Rajasthani folk dance and music show bedazzles its audience. The women dressed in colorful Rajasthani folk costumes perform various dance forms of Rajasthan viz. Chari Dance, Terha Taal Dance, Gorbandh Dance, Ghoomar Dance, and Bhavai Dance. From skillfully balancing the earthen pots or lit brass pots on their head to dancing on broken glass to twirling in a circle at high speed – the finesse with which the artists carry out the show is amazing. I feel great respect and admiration for them.

Apart from various dances, you get a chance to see Rajasthan’s famous string puppet art. The puppet show brings smiles to the faces of little ones.

Show Timings: 7 pm to 8 pm and 8 pm to 9 pm

Tickets: INR 100 (USD 1.27) per adult and INR 50 (USD 0.63) per child for Indian nationals; INR 200 (USD 2.53) per adult and INR 50 (USD 0.63) per child for foreign nationals; and INR 100 (USD 1.27) for a camera

Note: You can buy the tickets online or from the ticket counter. The seats fill out fast so it’s recommended to book the tickets in advance.

8:30 pm: Dinner @ Ambrai Restaurant

Now that you’ve enjoyed the cultural extravaganza, it’s time to relish the food extravaganza.

Set on the banks of Lake Pichola, Ambrai overlooks the imposing City Palace, the famous Taj Lake Palace, and Gangaur Ghat. The views are mesmerizing, especially at night when the lake shimmers with the city lights reflecting on the water.

The restaurant serves multi-cuisine delicacies. The food is good, however, the view adds to the entire experience.

Note: It’s a good idea to reserve a table a day before your visit to avoid any disappointment.

Day 2 of Udaipur Itinerary for 4 Days

8 am: breakfast @ sai baba paratha center.

Sai Baba Paratha Center serves different types of paratha, an Indian breakfast delicacy. A plate comes with two parathas (of your choice), and curd.

It’s your typical hole-in-the-wall but the food is good.

Alternatively, you can also try Yummy Yoga . It’s a rooftop cafe with amazing views and yummy food.

11 am: Chittorgarh Fort

One of the largest forts in India, Chittorgarh is located just about 112 km away from Udaipur and makes for a fascinating day trip. It was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2013 along with five other forts in Rajasthan viz. Kumbhalgarh , Jaisalmer , Ranthambhore , Gagaron , and Amber .

Built in the 7th century, the fort is mostly in ruins but looks majestic. It echoes the tales of pride, heroism, sacrifice, romance, and spirit of Rajputs. No wonder, it’s called the Pride of Rajasthan .

Guarded by 7 huge gates namely Padan Pol , Bhairon Pol , Hanuman Pol , Jorla Pol , Ganesh Pol , Laxman Pol , and Ram Pol , the fort houses Vijay Stambh , Kirti Stambh , Gaumukh Kund , Rana Kumbha Palace , Padmini Palace , Ratan Singh Palace , Shiva Temple , Meera Temple , Kalika Mata Temple , Fateh Prakash Palace Museum , and Jain Temples .

Chittaur witnessed many dramatic and tragic events, the most notable being the war waged by Alladin Khilji . You’d know the story if you’ve seen Padmavat , an Indian period drama film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Chittorgarh with its impressive palace complexes, massive gates, and historic temples doesn’t cease to amaze its visitors.

Timings: 9 am to 5 pm, all seven days a week

*Fateh Prakash Palace Museum is open from 9:45 am to 5:15 pm and is closed on Mondays.

Entrance Tickets: INR 35 (USD 0.44) per Indian adult and INR 550 (USD 6.97) per foreign adult

*There’s a separate ticket for Fateh Prakash Palace Museum.

* The Light and Sound Show at Chittorgarh Fort (Rana Kumbha Palace) costs INR 150 (USD 1.90) per Indian adult, INR 75 (USD 0.95) per Indian child, INR 300 (USD 3.80) per foreign adult, and INR 150 (USD 1.90) per foreign child.

Note: Hire a registered guide, especially if you’re traveling with kids, to dive deep into Indian history and culture . Visiting historical monuments like this is a great way to inculcate curiosity in kids’ minds about India’s incredible kaleidoscopic past.

1 pm: Lunch @ Gangour Restaurant

Gangour Restaurant is one of the best restaurants near Chittorgarh. It serves authentic and traditional Rajasthani food at great prices. The owner and the staff of the restaurant are friendly and welcoming. The service is surprisingly efficient.

The must-try dishes are Ker Sangri, Papad ki Sabzi, Gatte ki Sabzi, Kadhi, Dal Bati Churma, and Bajre ki Roti.

4:30 pm: Indian Tea @ Sigdi Chai

You can’t visit Udaipur and not taste the famous sigdi chai at Sigdi Chai . Also known as tandoori chai, sigdi chai is made by placing an earthen cup (kulhad) in a burning hot tandoor with the help of iron tongs and waiting till it’s red hot.

Then it’s taken out and masala tea is poured into it and let it sizzle and froth so as to add a smokey flavor to it. At last, the tea is poured into a fresh clay cup and served.

5:30 pm: Saheliyon Ki Bari or Garden of the Maidens

Built by Rana Sanga for his queen and her 48 maids (thus, the name Garden of the Maidens) to offer respite from the routine, Saheliyon Ki Bari is a captivating garden with an assortment of flowers, fountains, pools, marble pavilions, and lush lawns.

You can easily spend an hour or so walking and appreciating the beauty the place holds.

Timings: Saheliyon Ki Bari is open all days from 9 am to 7 pm

Tickets: INR 10 (USD 0.13) per adult for Indian nationals and INR 50 (USD 0.63) per adult for foreign nationals

6 pm: Maharana Pratap Samarak

Located on the top of Moti Magri (Pearl Hill), Maharana Pratap Memorial is a beautiful tribute to one of the greatest warriors in Indian history, Maharana Pratap. The memorial commemorates the 16th-century battle of Haldighati.

You can walk uphill (about 1 km) from the main gate just across the Fatehsagar Lake to the memorial or buy a ticket for a vehicle that costs INR 150 (USD 1.90).

If you choose to walk like us, take the steps. You’ll witness the statutes of Maharana Pratap’s compeers viz. Rana Punja Bhil , Bhama Shah , Jhala Man Singh , Hakim Khan Sur , and others before you reach a colossal (11 feet high and weighing 70 tonnes) bronze statue of Maharana Pratap riding his beloved horse, Chetak. The statue was built by Maharana Bhagwat Singh in 1948.

Don’t forget to enjoy the views over Fatehsagar Lake from here.

Also, there’s a well-managed museum on the premises known for its vast collection of paintings that depict the rich history of Mewar. You’ll find a lot of instances of Kumbhalgarh, Chittorgarh, and Haldighati.

Timings: 8 am to 8 pm, all days a week

End your day with a beautiful sunset at Fateh Sagar Lake. Fateh Sagar Pal Walking Trail , a 2.6-mile trail that starts at Devali Sunset Point and ends at Hotel Lalit lets you appreciate the beauty of Fateh Sagar Lake during sunset from different perspectives.

Located on a hill on the banks of the Fateh Sagar Lake, Neemach Mata Temple is a great spot to capture the sunset over the lake. Or you can book a scenic boat ride to admire the lake dressed in the colors of sunset.

PS: Fateh Sagar Lake is jam-packed with a variety of food stalls serving amazing snacks and beverages. If you love tea, a cup of tea at Kamlesh Tea House could be your best bet. Coffee lovers should try kulhad coffee at Sai Sagar Coffee Shop .

8 pm: Dinner @ Upre

Upre , a rooftop restaurant at Hotel Lake Pichola is famous for the stunning views of iconic Lake Pichola, Gangaur Ghat, and the City Palace it offers. Make sure to book a table (the one overlooking the city and the lake, if possible) in advance.

Day 3 of Udaipur Itinerary for 4 Days

9 am: breakfast @ jheel’s ginger coffee bar & bakery.

Hidden in the narrow lanes of the old town is a rooftop cafe that serves amazing breakfast delicacies along with far-reaching views of Lake Pichola and Ambrai Ghat.

They have an exciting range of wood-fired pizzas, pancakes, grilled sandwiches, and coffee. We were pleasantly surprised by the food at Jheel’s Ginger Coffee Bar & Bakery. It’s delish.

10 am: Karni Mata Temple

Shri Manshapurna Karni Mata Temple is an ancient temple that has great historical and religious significance. Perched on Machla Magra Hills, the temple is accessible by a ropeway or a walking trail (over 1000 stairs) and affords a sweeping view over the city of Udaipur.

The temple extends peace and a feeling of otherworldliness. Devotees who seek the blessings of Mansapurna Karni Mata should visit from 4:30 am to 7 am and 10:30 am to 1:30 pm in the morning and 5 pm to 7:30 pm in the evening. Plan your visit around sunrise or sunset for a terrific view.

It’s believed that if you go for darshan in the morning as well as in the evening, Karni Mata fulfills all your wishes.

Majestically perched on Bansdara peak of Aravalli Hill, Monsoon Palace was built in 1884 by Maharana Sajjan Singh of Udaipur who wanted it to be a grand 9-floor astronomical center but that couldn’t happen due to his premature death.

It was later used as a hunting lodge by the royal family. Owing to its strategic location, the palace became a viewpoint for the royals to watch the clouds, scudding across the sky during monsoon and thus, the name.

The palace is also famous for being the filming location for the 1983 James Bond movie Octopussy.

Note: Today’s going to be a hectic day so it’s suggested to grab a quick breakfast at your hotel or on the way from Udaipur to Maharana Pratap Museum.

9 am: Haldighati and Maharana Pratap Museum

Located in the Aravalli Mountain range, Haldighati is a historical (it has great significance in Indian history) mountain pass that narrates the story of the courage and bravery of Maharana Pratap, the 13th king of Mewar.

It’s where the Battle of Haldighati was fought between the Rajputs and Mughals. It’s where Chetak (Maharana Pratap’s beloved horse) breathed his last.

Located in close proximity is the Maharana Pratap Museum , an effort to celebrate Maharana Pratap, one of the greatest warriors of India. The museum showcases the life and times of Maharana Pratap in an intriguing way.

Timings: It’s open all days from 7 am to 7 pm

Entry Tickets: INR 100 (USD 1.27) per person.

12 pm: Lunch @ Pangat

Pangat is one of the best restaurants near Kumbhalgarh Fort. Located on the terrace of Raajsa Resort Kumbhalgarh , the restaurant serves pure vegetarian food and offers both a-la-carte as well as buffet spreads for lunch and dinner.

1 pm: Kumbhalgarh Fort

One of the most important forts in India and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kumbhalgarh is famed for its wall. Yes, the Fort Wall is recognized as the second-longest wall in the world (the Great Wall of China enjoys the first spot) and is known as the Great Wall of India .

The fort is also known for being the birthplace of the legendary king of Mewar, Maharana Pratap.

The fort remains almost invincible (it’s knocked down by invaders only once during its lifetime) because of its strategic location, well-thought-out architecture, and smart defense strategy.

Enveloped by 13 mountain peaks, the fort is guarded by an imposing 36 km long and 15 feet wide wall, seven soaring gates, and loads of rounded bastions and watchtowers. The fort is so big that it holds up to 360 Hindu and Jain temples.

The sprawling fort complex echoes the stories of its rich and enduring past. Kumbha Palace , Badal Mahal , Ganesha Temple , Neel Kanth Mahadeva Temple (houses 6 feet tall Shivlinga), and Mammadev Temple are some of the important attractions to explore inside the fort complex. And you can’t miss the bird’s eye view from the top of the fort.

The fort is surrounded by the huge Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary which is famous for its varied wildlife. You can book a morning or evening jeep safari if you’ve time.

Note: We totally recommend hiring a government-authorized tour guide if you wish to have a detailed visit and want to learn more about the fort’s remarkable history. Also, be prepared for an arduous uphill walk.

Timings: The fort is open all days from 9 am to 6 pm

Entry Tickets: INR 10 (USD 0.13) for Indian citizens and INR 100 (USD 1.27) for foreigners.

You can either hire a car with a driver or join a guided tour like this or this one to visit Kumbhalgarg Fort from Udaipur.

4 pm: Ranakpur Jain Temple

One of the most beautiful temples in India, Ranakpur Jain Temple is the epitome of architectural genius. Also, the temple is an oasis of spirituality and serenity. It holds a special significance for the followers of  Jainism and thus, is counted among the five major Jain pilgrimage sites.

Legend has it that a local Jain businessman and the finance minister of Rana Kumbha (then ruler of Udaipur), Seth Dharna Shah started the construction of this temple in 1446 followed by a divine vision.

It took over 50 years and two thousand seven hundred and eighty-five workers to complete this architectural marvel.

The temple complex hosts 3 shrines viz. Chaumukha Temple , Neminath Temple , and  Parshawanath Temple .

Chaumukha Temple is the main temple. Shaped as a celestial vehicle (Nalinigulm Vimana), Chaumukha Temple is dedicated to the first Tirthankara Adinatha . It’s intricately carved from white marble and over 1444 pillars hold the temple together. And surprisingly each pillar is individually carved. No two pillars are the same!

Don’t miss to look up. The ceilings are gorgeously carved!

Another remarkable feature of Chaumukha is the idol of Bhagwan Sri Parshvanath with 1008 hooded cobras. It’s carved out of a single slab of marble.

PS: If a pujari (priest) offers to provide a tour of the temple or say a prayer for you, you must pay them a decent amount as a donation.

Timings: Ranakpur Jain Temple is open all days from 6:30 am to 8 pm but tourists are allowed to enter between 12 pm to 5 pm.

Entrance Fee: There’s no entry fee, but you’ll have to pay INR 100 (USD 1.27) for each camera or mobile phone that you are taking inside the temple premises. Please be aware that photography of idols is prohibited.

Audio Guide Service is available at a fee of INR 200 (USD 2.53) which is optional for Indian citizens and compulsory for foreigners.

Note: There are strict rules that need to be followed before you enter the temple. Dress modestly. No bare shoulders and legs. Use a scarf (available at the ticket counter) to cover your shoulders. Leather articles like belts, wallets, handbags, watches, and of course shoes are not allowed. You can store your belongings in a rented locker.

8 pm: Dinner @ Khamma Ghani

What better way to end your trip to Udaipur than relishing authentic Rajasthani food at Khamma Ghani , a restaurant that’s famous for its ideal location (ah, the views!), warm hospitality, nice ambiance, and tasty food. We tried their laal maas, mirchi ka salan, gatta curry, and mewari khichdi.

We spent a night in Kumbhalgarh at The Aodhi and explored Ranakpur Jain Temple the next day morning and then continued our journey to Jodhpur. If you are exploring Udaipur as a part of your Rajasthan Itinerary , you can easily explore all the major attractions viz. Eklingji , Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara , Haldighati , Maharana Pratap Museum , Kumbhalgarh Fort , and Ranakpur Jain Temple while traveling between Udaipur and Jodhpur.

6 thoughts on “The Best Udaipur Itinerary for 4 Days”

I loved Udaipur when I visited the city a few years ago. The City Palace is gorgeous and I loved the sunrise over the lake. This is a fantastic itinerary to take in the best of the city.

Great post! This looks like a really good 4 day itinerary that covers so many amazing sights. I’ve love to visit here one day.

Wonderful blog. Do you have recommendations for tour guides to the Chittorgarh Fort?

Thanks for stopping by. Here’s a list of government-approved local guides for Chittorgarh .

Very nice Itinerary including the timings. Did you carry out excursions yourself or your hired local guides? If yes, it will be good to provide their contact information.

Hey Rajesh,

Thank you for the kind words on the itinerary! We hired a chauffeur-driven car for our trip through Rajasthan, which eventually became a fantastic decision. Our driver, a local from Udaipur, knew the area well. He doubled as a guide, offering invaluable local insights and tips throughout our journey, adding a personal and authentic touch to our experience. I have the driver’s contact number, though his name escapes me at the moment. However, I strongly suggest hiring a local driver-guide for a more immersive and enjoyable trip in Rajasthan. I can’t share his contact number publicly for privacy and security reasons, so I’m mailing it to you.

Several palaces can be found around the complex. Badi Mahal, known as the Garden Palace, is the highest point in the City Palace.
